Well Ms Schiavo definitely had the right idea many years ago, in particular her attempts to "prod" the FAA into action regarding ValueJet during it's rockin'-rollin' early days...full of mishaps...unfortunately, as always, the FAA failed to act until people died..she did tend to come across as an alarmist...(read her book flying blind, flying safe)...she had, and rightfully so a big problem with the FAA's dual mandate of regulating, and promoting aviation...in the end she "quit" in disgust....bit disappointing the lawsuit though.in poor taste for sure..but the airport security in the states is a sham....but on sept 11th, intelligence failed...nothing came onboard the aircraft that wasn't currently permitted...so this should be interesting...let's see how it progresses
